Provided you can get your hands on one, Nvidia's RTX 3080 is one of the best graphics cards on the market right now. With its hungry 320W power draw, a pretty hefty cooling solution, such as the one on the Founders' Edition card, is needed to keep the powerhouse chip running cool.
We've seen fanless gaming GPUs before, such as Palit's silent GTX 1650, but Turemetal - which produces cases designed for completely fanless and silent cooling - has now taken it a step further. The company's founder Mical Wong posted images of a fanless RTX 3080 and Ryzen 5 5600X inside Turemetal's UP10 case on Twitter (via FanlessTech).
It's a pretty impressive feat to have this beast of a card running in complete silence, but it doesn't look sustainable. As you can see in the Twitter photo, the 3080's GPU temperature rises to 87°C just four minutes into a FurMark GPU stress test, making this setup a surefire recipe for causing thermal throttling.
